I haven't measured this patch yet, theoretically this small optimization might be difficult to observe. If you think this patch complicates the code, you can ignore this patch.
These three patches are independent and they can be applied independently. The logic of the third patch is very simple. It will not complicate the code. It is tested by the default configuration of qemu. The total number of iterations of memblock_merge_regions() in the third patch is reduced from more than one thousand to more than one hundred, this is only in the case of a small number of regions. Can you consider the third patch?
Sincerely yours, Peng.
